Need Advice To Set Dolby Atmos 5.1.2 In Living Room

[Aroo]

I need to set 5.1.2 in my living room which extends into a foyer & dining area entire area is open. The sitting area could be 15×15, have a wall & book shelf opposite the Tv area. The ideal set up after going through several threads is 2Floor Standers, center channel, Sub, 2surround bookshelves at back & 2 ceiling speakers ( have false ceiling ). Concern is I have 12ft long TV stand ,which stands at 3ft height from ground level, have to place floor standers in front of the stand, can some other speaker sitting on top of the stand deliver desired output instead of floor standees. I have gone through several threads but am confused in selection of speakers. I am open to mix & match of brands for optimum musical & movie experience. My budget including AVR(need advice on this too according to selection of speakers) s 2lakhs. Request expert advice . Please accept my gratitude in advance for the advice extended

I suggest the following :
AVR: Marantz 5013 / Denon 3400H
Speakers: SVS Prime Bookshelf Fronts and surrounds, prime center. (you may also consider KEF/Polk speakers)
Subwoofer: SVS PB1000
Ceiling: Polk or KEF in ceiling speakers

If you are buying a good subwoofer, you may consider bookshelf for front, since you have limitation for floor standers

Yep. As FM @HTuser says BS speakers will rise up to 43-46 inches from ground when seated on 36 inch TV stand.
Ideal rise would be when tweeter is at 38 - 42 inches. This is ear level when a normal person sits on a standard sofa/chair.
Just make sure the area under the place where you position the front speakers is well damped.
You may use books to fill the space. Empty cabinets below speakers can resonate and make sound hollow/echo or tinny.
Hopefully the TV stand does not have glass doors
On sound profile, you need to audition.
